Writing Love Letters in the Enemy’s Toilet - A Vow of Eternal Love, Even After Rebirth (Transmigration) - Chapter 14

When Kefuku said, “The day before Mitsutomo’s suicide, we received a message from the organization—they had identified the reincarnated one. We rushed to the site, and that’s when we were told that Mitsutomo was the reincarnation of Rikyū,” Kuno thought to himself, Another unbelievable claim…

“My father is… Rikyū?” Haruka’s voice rose in shock.

“I was surprised too,” Kefuku admitted. “To think that my old friend since our student days would turn out to be the reincarnated one we had been searching for…”

He went on, “After that, the organization instructed him to take his family and hide in a safe location they had prepared. The next day, when the appointed time came and Mitsutomo never appeared, I assumed he was taking time to persuade his family. But when I tried calling, it went straight to voicemail. I started to worry and went to his house—only to find police cars surrounding the place. Even though we’d been close for so many years… I never noticed what he was planning.” Kefuku closed his eyes, his face filled with regret.

Opening them again, he said quietly, “Mitsutomo was a perfectionist. He must have believed that as long as he lived, the danger to his family would remain. He likely thought the only way to remove that threat was to end his own life. It was an act of love—a choice he made to protect them. Please… don’t blame him.”

Haruka sat in stunned silence, unable to speak after hearing everything.

Kefuku continued, “But what’s even more troubling is that, right now, we don’t know where Mitsutomo is. The Yatagarasu have not confirmed his consciousness returning. It’s hard to believe the organization is behind this disappearance… which means either Mitsutomo vanished of his own will, or—though I hate to even consider it—he might have been abducted by the Keimei Society.”

“Th-that can’t be…” Haruka whispered, tears spilling from her eyes.

“If you receive any kind of message or contact from the Keimei Society, please inform me right away,” Kefuku said.

Haruka wiped her eyes and asked, “If my father was really taken… what will they do to him?”

“I can’t promise anything,” Kefuku answered, “but Mitsutomo is the key to unlocking the Trinity. I doubt they would harm him recklessly.”

Just then, his phone rang. Kefuku glanced at the screen, then answered, “I’m in a meeting right now, can we speak later? …What? News? …I see. …Understood.” He hung up, his face visibly tense.

“I’m sorry,” he said abruptly, standing. “Something urgent has come up. I’ll have to ask you both to leave for today.”

Kuno frowned. “Did something happen? Is it about Mitsutomo?”

“No,” Kefuku replied, shaking his head. “In any case, the Yatagarasu will do everything we can to find him. If we learn anything, I’ll contact you immediately. And if you discover anything, please reach out. My cell number and email are on my card—send me your contact information later.”

He added, “I’m truly sorry I can’t see you out, but I must go,” and with that, Kefuku hurried out of the room.

Left behind in the reception room, Kuno leaned back, thinking, It’s hard to believe, but… everything he said fits together…

When he turned to his left, Haruka was still crying softly. Gently placing a hand on her shoulder, Kuno said quietly, “Let’s go home…”
